Mama, You Been on My Mind

[Verse 1]

Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat

And covering the crossroads I'm standing at

Or maybe it's the weather or something like that

But mama, you been on my mind

[Verse 2]

I don't mean trouble please don't put me down or get upset

I am not pleading, or saying I can't forget you

I do not pace the floor, bowed down and bent, but yet

Mama, you been on my mind

[Verse 3]

Even though my eyes are hazy

And my thoughts they might be narrow

Where you been don't bother me

Or bring me down with sorrow

I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow

Mama, you're just on my mind

[Verse 4]

I'm not asking you to say words like yes or no

Plеase, understand me, I havе no place I'm calling you to go

I'm just whispering to myself so I can't pretend that I don't know

Mama, you're on my mind

[Verse 5]

When you wake up in the morning, baby, look inside your mirror

You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near

I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear

As someone who has had you on his mind
